Forest Carbon leads the way in voluntary carbon woodland creation in the UK. Through the planting of over 8 million new trees in the UK (and a total of more than 10 million globally) since 2006 our partners’ projects are removing nearly 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere, as well as providing a host of other benefits to society, including flood mitigation, river improvement and public access.
This week marks the start of the first auciton of the Woodland Carbon Guarantee (WCaG), a government initiative designed to incentivise tree planting across England. Applications were set to close at the end of last week, but the deadline has been pushed back and applicants now have until January 31st to register and apply, and potentially secure a contract for selling carbon credits from woodland creation.
Read MoreOur friends over at Natural Capital Partners have done a nice job summarising the webinar they hosted last month on how business around Europe are supporting woodland creation (and why it's a good thing). Forest Carbon's Steve Prior was one of the panelists. If you didn't catch the webinar you can find the summary over on the Natural Capital Partners blog.

We found great interest in our new small business and household Carbon Clubs, which we set up recently to enable small businesses, and households to mitigate their carbon footprints through properly certified woodland creation in the UK - in the same way that our bigger partners have been able to do these past 14 years.
Both Clubs are designed to make the process as straighforwa...

Through the planting of over 7.5 million new trees in 145+ new woodlands in the UK since 2006 our partners’ projects are removing over 1,900,000 tonnes of CO2 from the global atmosphere, as well as providing a host of other benefits to society, including flood mitigation, river improvement and public access.
The quality of our schemes is assured by the UK government’s Woodland Carbon Code which certifies our projects in important areas like biodiversity, ‘additionality’, risk management and carbon capture measurement.
Compensating for your unavoidable environmental impact by helping to create a new woodland is rewarding in many ways. Check out our woodland location map and see what trees we’ve planted.
